As shown in FIGS. 1-4 and 6-12, the stand 1 includes a base 11 and a post 12. The base 11 is provided with a plurality of slots 111 and a rear wall 112. An end of the post 12 is connected to the top of the base 11 and the other end thereof is mounted with an equipment, such as, but not limited to, an interactive kiosk or an all-in-one PC (AIO PC), etc.

As shown in FIGS. 5-12, the detachable wheeled seat 2 includes a board 21 and a plurality of wheels 22. The board 21 has a front plate 211 disposed above the base 11 and a rear plate 212 projecting over the rear wall 112. The front plate 211 has a plurality of tabs 213 downwardly extended and each of the tabs 213 is inserted in respective slot 111. Each tab 213 has a through hole 214. The multiple wheels 22 are mounted on the bottom of the rear plate 212.

In detail, the board 21 has one or multiple lower blocks 23 downwardly extended and one or multiple upper blocks 24 upwardly extended. The one or multiple lower blocks 23 are sandwiched between the base 11 and the front plate 211. The one or multiple upper blocks 24 are sandwiched between the post 12 and the board 21.

In addition, in this embodiment, an amount of the lower block 23 is multiple. Each lower block 23 has a first slant edge 231 and a first horizontal edge 232 arranged correspondingly. Each first slant edge 231 is formed on the front plate 211 and each first horizontal edge 232 abuts against the base 11 to make the board 21 slant with respect to the base 11. Each lower block 23 may be, but not limited to, a triangular block or a trapezoidal block.

Moreover, a side of each of the lower blocks 23 away from the board 21 is extended to connect with each other to be a transversal rib 25. In other words, the support stand structure may further include the transversal rib 25 extended between sides of adjacent two of the lower blocks 23 away from the board 21. The bottom surface of the transversal rib 25 and each first horizontal edge 232 are coplanar and jointly abut against the base 11 to make the board 21 more stably mounted on the base 11.

Also, in this embodiment, an amount of the upper block 24 is multiple. Each upper block 24 has a second slant edge 241 and a second horizontal edge 242 arranged correspondingly. The second slant edge 241 is formed on the front plate 211 and the second horizontal edge 242 abuts against the post 12 to make the board 21 slant with respect to the post 12. Each upper block 24 may be, but not limited to, a triangular block or a trapezoidal block.

As shown in FIGS. 2-4 and 7-11, the multiple fasteners 3 are installed on the bottom of the base 11. Each fastener 3 includes a movable pin 31. Each movable pin 31 may be attachable to and detachable from each through hole 214.

In detail, each fastener 3 further includes two positioning blocks 32 and an elastic member 33. The two positioning blocks 32 are extended from the bottom of the base 11 and arranged between each slot 111 and the rear wall 112. Each positioning block 32 is provided with a passing hole 321. Each movable pin 31 is inserted into the passing holes 321 of the two positioning blocks 32. Each elastic member 33 is clipped and elastically supports between each movable pin 31 and one of the positioning blocks 32. Each elastic member 33 is used to bring each movable pin 31 to move and restore toward each slot 111.

In addition, an end of each movable pin 31 away from each slot 111 is extended with an L-shaped lever 311. The rear wall 112 is disposed with a plurality of indents 113. Each L-shaped lever 311 may be attachable to and detachable from each indent 113.

When each L-shaped lever 311 is detached from each indent 113, each movable pin 31 moves toward each slot 111 to be inserted into each through hole 214.

As shown in FIGS. 6-12, those figures show the support stand structure 10 of the disclosure in a using status. First, as shown in FIGS. 6-8, each L-shaped lever 311 is detached from each indent 113, and then the L-shaped levers 311 is pulled toward the rear wall 112 to bring each movable pin 31 to move away from each indent 111. As shown in FIGS. 9-11, each tab 213 is inserted into each slot 111, and then each L-shaped lever 311 is released, the elastic members 33 may bring each movable pin 31 to move toward each slot 111 and to be inserted into each through hole 214. That is, the detachable wheeled seat 2 is firmly mounted on the base 11 and the wheels 22 are arranged on the rear wall 112 to make the stand 1 movable through the wheels 22.

Accordingly, when a user pulls each L-shaped lever 311 toward the rear wall 112 to make each movable pin 31 detach from each through hole 214 and then make each tab 213 detach from each slot 111, the detachable wheeled seat 2 may be rapidly removed from the base 11. Thus, the support stand structure 10 may have the functions of the wheels 22 being easily and rapidly to be assembled for rapidly moving the device.

In addition, the detachable wheeled seat 2 may be installed when the stand 1 needs to be moved and the detachable seat 2 may be removed when the stand 1 needs to be positioned. Therefore, the support stand structure 10 has the advantages of stable positioning and saving space with the detachable wheels 22.

Furthermore, the lower blocks 23 are sandwiched between the base 11 and the front plate 211 and the upper blocks 24 are sandwiched between the post 12 and the board 21 to make the board 21 slant with respect to the base 11 and the post 12. The stand 1 inclines toward the rear wall 112 when the stand 1 needs to be moved so as to smoothly move the stand 1 with respect to the board 21 and the wheels 22 as a fulcrum. Thus, the support stand structure 10 has the advantage of a stand 1 being easily to be moved.

It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the above embodiments have been described by way of example only and not in any limitative sense, and that various alterations and modifications are possible without departure from the scope of the disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
